Default 2006 GS430 pricing

I'm looking at an 06 GS430 white with Grey interior. 60k miles, clean, no Nav nor mark Levinson. What's a good price to pay for an 06 nowadays?

probably will be hard to find a 2006 with just 60k miles....you are looking to pay about $24,000 for that relative low miles.

$24k is what the seller is asking. Just hard to believe that an 06 is still going for that much. Whats a good number for it where Im getting a good deal?
For that price, can i get a comparable GS350 thats newer or with better options?

My '06 430 has 72k on it now. I wouldn't expect more than $20-21k if I were to sell it. It's Flint Mica w/ Black interior, NAV, ML, 3M Crystalline tint, no accidents. Market has really flattened on them since the 4GS came out. They took a big hit when the new one was launched, but have been pretty stable since.

I looked at a red 06 GS300 with only 36k miles at a Lexus dealer and they wanted $28k.

I wouldn't sell mine for less than 20 with 88 k miles.
Love the car, came from a good first owner. I think I'll keep,this one for a few years.... Will I a been almost 2 years already, still feels fresh to me.

Lexus reliability and resale value are one of the biggest reasons I bought one. Plus I still one sexy looking car. Love the sound of a v8

Bought an 06 430 with 78k three months ago. All things together, I was in at about $22k.

Good luck!

i sold my GS 430 w/ 118K miles for $18K. You can pay less if you are willing to give some on mileage. Just know that around 90-100K you need a Timing belt/water pump changeout which will cost probably $900-1300 depending on what else you get done and where.

let us know what you end up doing

I am glad to see that Gs is holding its value so well.
430 and 460 were a rare breed , 460 even more so.
Those who buy these cars but them because they love performance, looks and overall package.

Power with 430 is just about enough, but I'm a hp junkie. Still plenty fast, and the motor sounds just awesome.

I wish we had an option for sun shades in the back windows and wish the seats where a bit more comfortable.
Also,wish the suspension had three modes. Like soft, Norm, Sport. While never jarring, sometimes it's a bit stiff, here in NYC particularly.

Unlike 2nd gen GS which got played out rather quickly, I think 3rd gen will age more gracefully.

Rented a house on the lake upstate New York, leaving tomorrow, can not wait for the road trip.
